ive seen 2 or 3 guys repaint their foglights w/ stained glass window spraypaint, would this work w/ our tails?

just tape off everything you dont want painted, apply a couple coats of red stained glass window paint, voila??

think it would work?

 

Could take the taillight off & then have even less to mask off...
That seems like a good idea to me... anybody!?!?
Who's going to be the guinea pig...!!!???

 

yeah thats what i meant, but not the whole tail light, ill keep the little white reverse strip still on there

 

people have already spray tinted they're tail lights. same thing exceot black. overlays wuld be easier because u don't have to worry about even coats

 

I don't think so - on small areas it's okay, but on a large taillight it would run and streak and overall look no-so-good. I'd say overlays as well are the way to go.

 

I don't get your signature

 

For every Evo owner that says that a Ralliart shouldn't have an Evo VIII spoiler because it's not the car it came with - those same people who put Evo IX rear diffuser bumpers on their cars. Basically it state that car modification limited to whatever people think is "right" is stupid, and just because a part isn't 'meant' for a specific vehicle doesn't mean it has any less right to be used. meh.

 

^exactly, ****in' double standards.

 

so u want to spray the outsides of the lights or rip open the light by cooking it in the oven and then spraypainitng the inside???

 

i figure you could probably do both, but for the ease of this conversation, just spraypainting the outside.

 

remember... before you go and spraypaint your lights "YOU ONLY GET ONE SCREW UP, NOBODY SELLS AFTERMARKETS"

 

yeah i know, i didnt plan on actually doing it, just some ideas

 

I duno about those Evo owners, but I say the Ralliart (or any Lancer for that matter) shouldn't have an Evo wing because it's FWD. It's useless rice.


But that's why I try to stay out of Show and Shine.

 

don't cook them, they will warp. they can't stand the heat like headlights

 

you are correct about the uselessness, this is why my evo 8 replica makes no downforce whatsoever and its all show. however the real oem evo 8 spoiler is slanted and used for downforce and is where it belongs,,,,,on the evo.
